0:56 — That’s Chris Brown (2) looking long and explosive coming out of a break.

0:59 — Romeo Okwara catches the wrath of new strength coach Dave Andrews, who has joined the Irish staff from Illinois. Andrews worked with Kelly and head strength coordinator Paul Longo at Cincinnati.

1:03 — That doesn’t look fun.

1:07 — That’s Michael Deeb (42) nearly planting a hole in the turf inside Loftus with a big hit on the tackling dummy.

1:09 — That’s Sheldon Day against Matt Hegarty (77) in a one-on-one drill.

1:16 — Fast feet on Jaylon Smith (9), working the speed ladder.

1:19 — TIRE FIGHT! This is a pretty intense drill, as Max Redfield (10) and Greg Bryant (1) square off. This looks mighty intense and features two guys that will play prominently into the future of the program.

I feel like I’m watching Gladiator or something, right now.

1:47 — Same drill, this time with John Turner (31) squaring off with Durham Smythe (80).

1:51 — Looks like Jarron Jones is about to get the better of Ronnie Stanley (78). That’s a lot of manpower right there.

(If we all demand it and tweet @NDFIDM, maybe we can find out who won between Redfield and Bryant.)

That tire fight between Bryant and Redfield is awesome on so many levels. Those two dudes are goin at it!! That’s a verrry good sign to see two of your best athletes have that kind of competitive drive! Good things to come Irish fans!
